How To Work With The Cycles of The Moon

As the closest astronomical body to the earth, the moon can intensely affect us. After all, the moon alters the waves of the ocean and, as humans, we are about 65% water. The moon constitutes the feminine, sensory, intuitive, and motherly energy in our lives. A complete moon cycle will take 28 days to run its course, which is the same as a woman’s monthly cycle. Coincidence? We think not. This is why a woman's cycle is sometimes known as her moon cycle.

The moon transfers her energy upon us in cycles of waxing and waning, holding on to and letting go, retreating and flowing. With all of these variances, there are ways that you can learn to work with the energies of the moon for manifesting or letting go!

The Cycles of the Moon

New Moon

A new moon means new possibilities. This is a great time to set new goals for your life and really spend time thinking about what they will feel like when they come true. Think of these intentions while spraying our New Moon Manifesting Mist to amplify those intentions.

Waxing Moon

This is the build-up before the real wishes can be granted. Keep doing the work in getting towards your goals and let your goals remain clear in those actions. Big results are coming soon.

Full Moon

Intense and expanding power. This is the time to let go of that which no longer serves you with positive purpose. Think of what you want to let go as you spray our Full Moon Surrender Spray and give those troubles to the moon.

Waning Moon

This is the time to do the inner work for what you are letting go and be at peace with believing that now is the perfect time for reflection. This is the best time to make revelations from the deep interior of yourself and prepare for new beginnings.

When To Let Go

During the full moon, the energy is strong and immaculate. You will feel the power to take action and let go. The full moon is the ideal time to let go of anything that is hindering your growth. Once the slate has been wiped clean, you will then be ready for the new moon energy to begin. In the new moon, you can make time for new goals and wishes when new ideas and accomplishments are possible!
